History

Founded in October of 1998, David was brought to Atlanta to serve as an entertainment and lifestyle magazine for the Southeastern United States. It was the part of a line of gay magazines dating back to 1968, beginning in Florida. The magazine was named after the Michaelangelo statue.

In 2003 the publication was bought by United Media, publisher of the Southern Voice in Atlanta, and the Washington Blade in Washington, D.C. David was merged into Window Media in 2005.
